Description
|
Provides five additional staff for the Third Party Liability (TPL) recovery unit. Under state and federal law, the Medicaid program is intended to be the payer of last resort for medical claims for eligible recipients. Early identification of possible TPL cases greatly increases the agency's chances to effectively research and pursue recovery of medical expenses paid. The number and complexity of TPL cases (especially casualty cases) filed have been steadily increasing over several years. This amendment increases the TPL staff from 15 to 20 with the staff costs offset by increased TPL recoveries. |
